Care and maintenance

Disconnecting the power supply

! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning

and maintenance operations.

Cleaning the filter after each

cycle

The filter is a fundamental component of the

dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that

form during drying.

Clean the filter once

drying is completed, by

rinsing it under running

water or cleaning it with a

vacuum cleaner. Should

the filter become clog-

ged, the flow of air inside

the dryer will be seriously

hampered: drying times becomes longer and

more energy is consumed. Moreover, the dryer

may become damaged.

The filter is located in

front of the dryer seal

(see Picture).

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the filter’s plastic

handle upwards (see

Picture).

2. Clean the fluff off the

filter and replace it correctly. Ensure that the

filter is pushed fully home.

! Do not use the dryer unless the filter has

been replaced in its holder.

Checking the drum after each cycle

Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handker-

chiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.

Cleaning the drum

! Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning

agents to clean the drum. A coloured film may appear on the

stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a combina-

tion of water and/or cleaning agents such as wash-softeners.

This coloured film does not affect the dryer’s performance.

Emptying the water container after

each cycle

Remove the water container and

empty it into a sink or other

suitable drain outlet, then

replace it correctly.

Always check the water contai-

ner and empty it before starting

a new drying cycle.

Failure to empty the water container may cause

the following:

- The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still be

damp at the end of the drying cycle).

- The “Empty water container” LED activates to

show that the water container is full.

Priming the Water Collection System

When your dryer is new, the Water Container will

not collect Water until the system is primed, this

will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once primed it will

collect Water during every cycle.

Cleaning the condenser unit

• Remove the condenser (see Picture

below) unit regularly (monthly) and clean off

any fluff deposits from the plates by rinsing it

with cold water running on the rear end of the

condenser.

Removing the condenser:

1. Disconnect the dryer from the power

supply and open the

door.

2. Open the conden-

ser cover (see Picture

below), unlock the three

catches by turning them

90° anti-clockwise, then

pull on the grip to remo-

ve the condenser.

3. Clean the surface

of the seals and replace

the unit with the arrows

pointing upwards, while

making sure that the

catches are securely

fixed.

Cleaning the tumble dryer

• The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be clea-

ned with a damp cloth.

• Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months)

with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust

deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the

front part of the condenser filter and from the door filter

area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives.

! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical

personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechani-

cal parts work safely (see Assistance).
